Learn how to use the RCBS Chargemaster Link in this Brownells Tech Tip with Caleb. In this video, Caleb walks through one of his favorite reloading scales on the market and shows how to set it up, calibrate it, pair it to your phone, and start dispensing accurate powder charges. If you are new to reloading, upgrading your current powder scale, or looking for an affordable automatic powder dispenser, this video covers the basics in a straightforward, bench-side format.
The RCBS Chargemaster Link is a compact electronic powder scale and dispenser that offers app connectivity, automatic dispensing, and simple controls without stepping into the ultra-premium price range. Caleb shows how to level the unit, let it warm up properly, calibrate it with the included weights, add powder, label the hopper, and use both manual and auto-dispense modes. He also explains why reliable load data matters and why this tool works well for everything from common rifle loads to longer-range precision work.
